AF290 Plank Sofa: Three-Seater

CAD $2,340 – $3,140

The 290 Plank Sofa was originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1953. This 3-seater sofa is recognizable by its broad armrests and visible external wooden frame, giving it its “plank” moniker.

Wegner’s philosophy in furniture design was to create pieces that were functional and exceptional. He famously said, “I have always wanted to make unexceptional things of an exceptionally high quality.”

The Plank Sofa combines traditional wood craftsmanship with exceptional comfort.

Shown in Mosaic Woven Upholstery on Black Painted Oak.

The Archetype Forms AF290 Plank Sofa: Three-Seater is a faithful reproduction of the original Hans J. Wegner Plank Sofa, also known as Model GE-290 3 Plank Sofa.

Wegner created over 500 chair designs, including the iconic Wishbone Chair (1949), Round Chair (1949), and Flag Halyard Chair (1950). His philosophy, "A chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles," guided his detailed approach. Wegner's work elevated Danish design on the global stage, earning him countless awards and museum exhibitions.
